Back to School
Jace's first day of 3rd grade was great, he said. He likes his teacher, they got to play getting to know you games, had chicken nuggets for lunch with white milk and other good stuff. (He always picks the white milk over the chocolate, can you believe that?)
He knows a lot of the kids in his class, even though his good friends, Addie and Dalton (pictured below) are each in separate classrooms.
On the bus, he sat with Dalton one way and Addie the other way. At recess, he didn't really play with anyone. But he noticed a tree that was growing with the fence inside of it. He was fascinated by this. Tomorrow they will get the soccer balls out, and that's what he will be playing.

Lance is having a blast watching Jace be silly with his friends while they wait for the bus on their first day of school. Notice the backpacks lined up neatly in a row. This defines who got to the bus stop first, a routine that began last year.
I think it's going to be a great year!

Who raised you?
Jace and I were picking out his school clothes tonight after returning home from the cabin, and he grabbed the jeans I told him he couldn't wear until school started and a shirt that he wore all the time last year. I quickly showed him the one I already had hanging up on the doorknob that I bought for him, brand new, never worn.
"I bought this for you. Would you rather wear this?"
He didn't really act very excited about it and was fine with wearing the old shirt in his hand. In my head, I'm thinking, " You MUST wear a new shirt to school the first day!" And he really could care less. Aren't these roles usually switched?
Anyway, I had a backup plan. Just last Saturday I hit the sale at Old Navy and bought two nice hawaiian shirts, $1.97 each! Now Lance and Jace have matching shirts to wear to school! (Lance starts preschool next week) Lance was way excited about this idea. Jace, I think he had his mind on other things. Except he did like that it is Hawaiian.
So I asked him if he would like to wear that shirt tomorrow.
"Okay!" Thankfully more enthusiasm.
I'm really glad that Jace has his priorities straight that nice, new clothes are not the most important thing on the first day of school, as I always thought. Who raised him, anyway?
